Why do anti-imperialist movements in the Global South tend to see queer folk as enemies rather than fellow oppressed people? (Not saying all are like that, but why don't we see that many radically pro-queer movements in the Global South)

Iran offers transition surgeries because the underlying belief is that if a man wishes to sleep with a man, he must be a woman, as only women are allowed to lay with men. Then, since Allah could never create a homosexual person, then the person is in actuality a woman and needs transitioning.

It’s Mormon loophole shit. Also reinforces the trans-medicalist notion that a trans person is only trans after receiving all available surgeries.
